Speakit uses the Text to Speech feature built into Windows XP to allow Macro Express macros to speak. It can be
very helpful for a macro to indicate vocally which part of the macro is running. And, spoken error messages really

screen because when a message pops up, it can interfere with the macro.
Now you can have your macros speak using SpeakIt, the new Text to Speech option for Macro Express.
